Chapter 247: Collecting Gasoline (1)
Long Yu looked at Shi Xuan and said, "Let's talk later. Ran Ran and I found plenty of water, so you two should go and take a shower."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hearing this, Jia Xiang's eyes lit up. She smiled and said, "Finally, I can take a shower!"
While Shi Xuan and Jia Xiang went to shower, Deng Qiqi prepared dinner, while Long Yu and Yao Ran cleaned and disinfected the corridor.
Half an hour later, the five of them sat around the low table in the living room of unit 1901. Long Yu looked at the exhausted Shi Xuan and Jia Xiang and asked, "What happened?"
Jia Xiang took a sip of water and replied, "To make a long story short, A Xuan and I stumbled upon a fight between two gangs. When we realized they were fighting over a gas station, we took away the fuel while they were busy with each other."
Shi Xuan nodded and added, "We didn't take the tankers directly but filled up oil drums. While they were distracted, we loaded the drums onto their transport trucks, drove off, and brought back two trucks and enough fuel to last us a few months."
Yao Ran was curious and asked, "Then how did you two end up looking dirtier than rats?"
Jia Xiang swallowed her rice and sighed, "I don't know if we were lucky or not, but we found an outdoor store that hadn't been looted yet. While we were moving supplies to the trucks, the building suddenly collapsed, and we fell into the sewer."
Deng Qiqi gasped when she heard this and asked worriedly, "Elder Sister Jia Xiang, Elder Brother Xuan, are you two alright?"
Shi Xuan smiled, "We are fine, thanks to the clothing Captain gave us earlier."
Yao Ran raised her brows slightly at this and looked at her boyfriend. Sensing her gaze, Long Yu looked back and smiled.
After helping Deng Qiqi clear the table, Yao Ran and Long Yu returned home to get ready. Ten minutes later, they left the Ling Yuan apartment complex on foot.
Their destination tonight was not the gas stations but the oil refinery outside Juncheng City. Yao Ran and Long Yu walked for a few hours until they found a secluded area.
After ensuring that nobody was around, Yao Ran took out an off-road military vehicle. When Long Yu saw the car, he couldn't help but look at his girlfriend with surprise. It seemed that the longer he knew her, the more mysterious she became.
Yao Ran handed him the keys and took the passenger seat. Seeing that she had already pulled out a map from her backpack, Long Yu got into the driver's seat and started the car.
As Long Yu drove out of Juncheng City, Yao Ran turned on a small solar lamp and carefully studied the map.
After a while, she said, "A Yu, the oil refinery is in the factory area, thirty kilometers from Juncheng City's outskirts."
Long Yu glanced at the map and nodded. Along the way, Yao Ran scanned the surroundings through night-vision binoculars. If there were obstacles, she would inform Long Yu and suggest alternative routes.
With Long Yu driving and Yao Ran navigating, they finally reached the factory area just as the sky began to brighten.
Yao Ran looked at the clock on the dashboard, which showed three o'clock in the morning. She surveyed the area, checked the map, and said, "Turn right, and you will see the entrance to the factory area."
Long Yu followed her directions, and soon, they were driving into the factory grounds. Yao Ran had visited this place before to buy military supplies, so she still remembered the factory
layout.
Thinking about those canned foods and other supplies, Yao Ran said, "A Yu, the oil refinery is located in the back area. Let's search the factories along the way."
